English muffin burgers | Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home | KQED

(airy music) - Hi, I'm Jacques Pepin, and I'm cooking at home. (calm piano music) I love hamburger. Those are the regular hamburger, I bought four ounces too. But I always have a hard time, (chuckles) and I have a big mouth, putting that in my mouth. So, I'm going to it a bit differently for you today. Those four ounce hamburger, are going to become two ounces hamburger. And I'm going to do that on English muffin. I love English muffin especially when they are well browned you know. So here I have my two hamburger divided into four now, a little bit of salt on top of it. Here, a bit of a oil, just a bit. And that's it. They're ready to go on the grill outside or here. Here we are. And then, English muffin in the toaster. Probably going to toast them twice because I like them really nice and brown. And of course tomato. And since I'm going to have four hamburger, and I need four little slice of tomato. Just like this. I think I'll put a little bit of pepper on top of this. And I course you can cook them the way you want. I like them pink inside, slightly pink, some people say you should have them well done. This is purely a question of taste. Now, I have my, about a minute and a half, maybe two minutes on each side. My wife like hamburger with mayonnaise on top. I like mine with ketchup. And of course there is all kinds of garnish you can do. You can put a little bit of cheese now on top of it to let it brown. I see they're about cooked enough for me. My muffins are here. Ooh, they're hot. I'm putting of course, a little bit of lettuce on top of it. Like this I want last thing of lettuce. I even like iceberg on this which is crunchy and all that. But any salad will do. Then I put the sweet onion. Of course, finally your slice of tomato on each of this here. I like to put a dash of salt on my tomato here. And finally the burger will go right on top here. It looks more like one burger. But it is actually a four ounce burger, which is done now in four half. And on top of this for me, I want a little bit of ketchup. All right? And for my wife, Gloria like a little bit of mayonnaise on top. And that's that. And this is the way I like my hamburger, and even this, I think I can make it this way. It's good enough for me. Happy cooking. (teeth crunching) Delicious. (calm piano music)
